Hi, Mary!
Here's a definition of "whuff"from the Oxford English Dictionary:
"Whuff," verb: (intransitive) to make a sound as of a forcible blast of breath or wind; (transitive) to utter with such a sound. Also as (interrogative), imitating such a sound.
It's a little anachronistic for NOT QUITE A MARRIAGE; the OED dates the first print occurrence as 1896, in H. G. Wells' WHEELS OF CHANCE: "He huffed a contemptuous laugh." But I liked it so much that I used it anyways...

Hi Bliss! First off, I just want to say your work such a refreshing and wonderful. I have read the entire Pennington series and was so excited when I saw Alex Wyndham's narration of A Man Without A Mistress wa finally available--I am listening to it now. Do you plan to continue with historicals? Do you have anything in the works? You are such a good researcher & writer, don't stop! Cheers, Morgan
